Luxe vs. Classic Prints
Luxe vs. Classic Prints
Luxe Prints – Premium prints on a variety of high-end fine art paper options and frames for a sophisticated presentation. Some fit standard frames, while others maintain non-standard historical proportions.
Classic Prints – Affordable, high-quality prints with a smoother finish for sharp detail designed to fit off-the-shelf frames. Classic prints have the word 'classic' above the title and a letter which shows the sizes that the print comes in. Size A– 4x6", 12x18", 16x24", 20x30" B– 6x8", 9x12", 12x16", 18x24", 24x30" C– 8x10", 16x20"
A jewel-box pharmacy with an exquisitely detailed interior is frozen in time; a chandelier glows above checkered floors and cut-glass bottles line carved shelves arranged with symmetry and precision. The scene evokes a memory you’re sure you’ve never lived.
Why We Picked It
The art stands out for its near-architectural precision and lavish ornamentation. The pastel-toned palette—cool greens, warm woods, and golden accents creates a scene that feels orderly and indulgent. A purposeful composition with exacting geometry of counters contrasting with the delicate labeling of apothecary jars.
Notable Context
Created in the late 30s, this work captures a transitional period in American design and commerce—where the tailored refinement of late Victorian interiors began to give way to more modern, streamlined aesthetics. The drawing clings to the romance of earlier decades, perhaps idealizing the pharmacy as a place of beauty, precision, and trust. It may reflect the optimism and civic pride commonly seen in New Deal-era public works and commercial design.
The painting style is characteristic of commercial or architectural illustrators working in early 20th-century America. These draftspeople often blurred the line between utility and beauty, producing images for shops, companies, advertisements, or civic planning. Their anonymous contributions shaped the visual lexicon of public life—functional spaces dignity and delight.
Understanding Our Print Sizes
Understanding Our Print Sizes
Historical prints vary in proportion based on their original format. Whenever possible, we match them to the closest standard size, using common print ratios like 2:3 (e.g., 8x12) or 3:4 (e.g., 9x12). However, resizing some prints can distort the artwork's integrity, so we can only offer them in their original proportions. Additionally, we use different printers for our product lines, and not all sizes are available with every printer.
